Where was this scam going?
So my cell phone rings with a blocked number. For some reason my brother calls from blocked numbers sometimes so I answer it. The Indian sounding guy on the other end of the line informs me that he represents Microsoft and they are monitoring activity that my computer is currently downloading malicious programs as we speak and he wants me to go to my computer.
I say "how did you get my number?" He states that they got it when I registered my computer. Ding, ding, ding!!!! Wrong answer. I have two laptops neither of which I am the original owner and both have been wiped and have fresh installs of windows that did not come with them running and which have never been registered with Microsoft since I don't want those frakers to have my info any more than some hacker.
I state I think he's a scam artist and I'm pretty sure he hung up before I got the chance. This one seems pretty bold. Never heard of this scam before. Where was it going?
Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
